Sex and age differences in COVID-19 mortality in Europe

Linda Juel Ahrenfeldt et al.

Summary: The study found that men had a higher relative risk of dying from COVID-19 compared to women in almost all age groups across ten European regions, but this sex difference decreased with age, with the smallest difference observed in the 80+ age group. Despite variations in data collection and time coverage, the overall pattern of sex differences in COVID-19 mortality in Europe was similar.

Structural and Functional Analysis of Female Sex Hormones against SARS-CoV-2 Cell Entry

Jorge Alberto Aguilar-Pineda et al.

Summary: Emerging evidence suggests that males are more susceptible to severe infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus than females, with mechanisms such as sex hormones and ACE2 receptor glycosylation potentially playing a role. Estrogens can disrupt interactions between ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2, reducing viral entry into cells. This sheds light on a potential mechanism by which female sex hormones may protect against severe infection and influence future COVID-19 therapies.

Progesterone in Addition to Standard of Care vs Standard of Care Alone in the Treatment of Men Hospitalized With Moderate to Severe COVID-19 A Randomized, Controlled Pilot Trial

Sara Ghandehari et al.

Summary: By administering subcutaneous progesterone to hypoxemic men hospitalized with moderate to severe COVID-19, it was found that progesterone at a dose of 100 mg, twice daily in addition to standard of care, can safely improve clinical outcomes and reduce the number of days on supplemental oxygen and length of hospital stay.

Acute estradiol and progesterone therapy in hospitalised adults to reduce COVID-19 severity: a randomised control trial

Dragana Lovre et al.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of short-term E2 and P4 therapy in mitigating disease severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial will assess patient improvement on the WHO scale over 28 days as the primary outcome.

The Impact of ACE2 Polymorphisms on COVID-19 Disease: Susceptibility, Severity, and Therapy

Fei Chen et al.

Summary: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is significantly influenced by ACE2 variants and epigenetic factors. Understanding these factors can help explain individual differences in disease susceptibility and outcomes, as well as aid in developing effective solutions and managing future outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2.

SARS-CoV-2 variants, spike mutations and immune escape

William T. Harvey et al.

Summary: The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has been characterized by the emergence of mutations and variants that impact virus characteristics. Manufacturers are preparing for possible updates to vaccines in response to changes in the virus population, and it is crucial to monitor genetic and antigenic changes alongside experiments to understand the impacts of mutations.

Estrogen and COVID-19 symptoms: Associations in women from the COVID Symptom Study

Ricardo Costeira et al.

Summary: The study found that menopausal women had higher rates of predicted COVID-19, while users of combined oral contraceptive pills had lower rates. Hormone replacement therapy usage did not consistently show associations with COVID-19. However, caution should be taken when interpreting the results due to certain limitations in the data collection.

Immunity, Sex Hormones, and Environmental Factors as Determinants of COVID-19 Disparity in Women

Suriya Rehman et al.

Summary: This study discusses the significant impact of gender on morbidity and mortality of COVID-19, with factors such as innate immune response, estrogen, and microbiota potentially contributing to gender differences. It also highlights certain factors that give women greater resistance to SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease progression.

17β-estradiol reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro

Robertha Mariana Rodrigues Lemes et al.

Summary: COVID-19 originated from Wuhan, China, and has unprecedentedly affected the public health system, society, and economy. Estrogen has been shown to potentially protect cells against SARS-CoV-2 infection by reducing viral load and decreasing TMPRSS2 levels, offering new possibilities for further research on 17β-estradiol in human cell lines infected by SARS-CoV-2.
